MONVERDE WINE EXPERIENCE HOTEL

Description

The project of the Monverde Hotel was born from the Quinta da Lixa's grapes and vineyards, from conversations, inspirations and aspirations. Initially it was meant to be a "big house" for friends who also appreciate wine. Yet, as time went on, brick by brick, it began to grow, established roots, and became "a serious thing". Monverde is its founders face, it is a reflection of what Quinta de Lixa is today and of passion for wine and for all that nature has to offer. Involve all your senses, within the vineyard and in the wine, in the grape varieties, and within the overwhelmingly beautiful landscape. The concept behind the rooms is to essentially integrate each one of them into the global concept of the hotel, which is to link accommodation with the exploration and production of wine, promoting direct contact with this cultural heritage and with the surrounding landscape. The 29 rooms are spacious and unpretentious in their execution, resulting in a charming space where contemporary aesthetics prioritised comfort, relax and intimate environment. Monverde Hotel also features a one bedroom apartment, equipped with a living room and kitchenette, so you and your family can make the most of your stay, without giving up comfort and convenience.
